Solaris (Windlbade, various)
The Divine Agent of Hemator, Solaris was a symbol of virtue in Pacyr. Around the world, faithful of the faith recognized him as the embodiment of their deity. It had been many years since one so closely aligned and resembling Hemator herself walked the mortal world. In the nation of Hemator, none challenged his words. Not even the president's words had more weight the Solaris. It was a daunting responsibility.
Other than preach and practice the faith, Solaris searched the world for signs of the undead and planar evil. Always in communication with the Guardians, he was vigilant for the threats. On few occasions, he traveled out to combat and defeat such threats, but there were rare and his presence alone ended the confrontation quickly.
Solaris' existence changed in the years of Iott's reign, and never went back to the way it was. Pacyr grew more isolated and exclusive. Both by Iott's design and the governments directives, the nation had less and less to do with the outside world. It was only Solaris' pleading that led a group of Pacyrans to take part in the attacks on the Day of Magic Deliverance. In Pacyr, where the results of that effort were known sooner than elsewhere, the results were challenging. The faith of Drunnbar, long allied in the nation with Hemator, pressed for arcane spellcasters to be removed from positions of power until Iott's ultimate defeat. Mayor's, governors, and other officials were removed from office. A month's long debate nearly ousted Clement from his position as high cleric in the nation.
Fear and resentment were Solaris' enemies now. Preaching and speaking often, traveling the nation, he plead for understanding and engagement with the world. His efforts held the line, but did not get more than a few to leave to help the world. Those few that left dwindled more when reports came that renowned sorcerer Lynda Suncaller had been killed in a duel with wizards of Iott. Solaris argued that if more effort was made, she would be alive. The opposition argued that had she stayed home, she would be alive.
In 805, Solaris entered the world of politics. He was loath to do so, and had avoided endorsing for decades, but there was little choice left. Lodormus choose not to run, but his voice carried weight as the prophet had predicted the dangers of Iott and the cataclysm of the stone breaking in the eyes of most. He baked the Perennial party, which looked to maintain the status quo, which in this case was not what Solaris wanted. He backed the Austere party, which advocated for a more active role in the world and included the faiths of Stasis and Falan. Solaris was certain this was better for Hemator's religion, so he campaigned on behave of the candidate. The election was close. In the last weeks, fearing the Austere party might win, the Happiness party, consisting of members of the faith of Quan Yin, advocated voting Perennial to avoid the nation going to war. The switch was enough, and the Perennial party won the election.
